Justin Long Thinks He Has Coronavirus, But Can't Get Tested

Justin Long believes that he has contracted coronavirus, but he hasn’t been able to get tested as he’s not in a high-risk group.

The 41-year-old actor says that his younger brother Christian Long‘s girlfriend returned home from a work trip and came down with all of the COVID-19 symptoms.

“We should tell everyone that you actually might have corona. You think you do. I might have it as well,” Justin said while chatting with Christian on his podcast Life is Short.

“I do have it,” Christian added. “We’re not just being paranoid.”

“Sadly, Christian‘s girlfriend Maggie came back from her work trip and a couple days later, she was very ill. She had classic corona symptoms. She had fever, dry cough, all the things that they’re saying people have with COVID,” Justin said.

Christian continued, “She’s on day 12 of it now and thankfully, the last 24 hours or so, she’s had no fever and seems to be doing a lot better. The weird thing is, the day after she came down with symptoms, a couple weeks ago, Justin and I came down with very mild versions of the exact same symptoms.”

“It was the achiness, some nausea, headaches, and then the tightness in the chests, we started noticing,” Justin said. “But then the strangest thing that happened, which we then read was typical of this disease, is that, it hasn’t happened to me, but Maggie and Christian lost their sense of taste and smell.”
